Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 19,251. Cree, T. H. Aug. 21. Targets. - A target device comprises an arm m carrying a target n which has a central hole o forming a bull'seye and adapted to ring a bell when struck. At the other end of the arm is mounted a doll r which turns somersaults when the shaft carrying the arm m rotates. The eyes v, Figs. 1 and 4, are adapted to be moved by an eccentric b<2> on the pivot q which causes the lever a<2> to move the eyes. A second doll c<1>, pivoted at c<2>, Fig. 3, is moved backwards and forwards by a link d<2>. The eyes f<4> of this doll are mounted on spindles f<2>, and the coaction of the rod g<1> and the bracket g<3> causes them to move as the doll is reciprocated. The whole is driven from the shaft d by a band with a free-wheel pulley g, and adjustable weights f on a rod e or a flywheel continue the rotation when the driving- band stops.

Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 20,582. Livens, F. H. Sept. 8. Regulating delivery by by-passes and by opening suction valves. - A pump for supplying liquid fuel in internal-combustion engines has a by-pass valve in the delivery passage, the amount of opening of which is controlled by a governor. In a modification, the by-pass valve is timed to open earlier or later in the stroke of the pump, the arrangement being shown in Fig. 6. The pump plunger L is driven by a cam N, which also actuates a by-pass valve F through links M', M<4> and a floating lever M M. The period at which the valve F is opened is determined by the governor K which adjusts the fulcrum K<4> of the lever M M. These control methods may be applied to the pump suction valves.

Title: Improvements in Speed Limit Controllers.
Inventor: HAMILTON JAMES BAILLIE
IPC: B60K31/12
Filed: 1909-12-20
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 29,735. Hamilton, J. B. Dec. 20. Centrifugal governors; transmitting-mechanism.-To regulate the speed of a shaft or body such as a motor-vehicle, a governor as described in Specification 28,706/09, is used to close a clutch at a predetermined speed, this clutch putting into gear a train of wheels connecting the governor shaft with the valve and brake to be operated. Suitably-placed stops may be used, so that, on an extreme movement of the spring adjusting-mechanism, the governor is put out of action. In a modification, the governor weights 1 are carried by one part of a clutch 60 and bear on a muff 64 which carries one part of another clutch 11, the latter putting the transmitting-gear 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20 into action. Two horizontal levers 70, Fig. 4, carry stops to enter a groove in the muff; the upper of these levers bears on a piece 74 slidably mounted on a spindle 75, carried by projections on a sleeve 77; one of these projections 79 is extended and connected to the loading-spring of the governor. The piece 74 projects through the casing surrounding the governor and toothed gear, and, by moving it along the spindle 75, the load is varied. The load-varying mechanism can be used with fluid relays, in which a pump forces liquid past a governor-controlled valve, the liquid operating a piston when the valve is wholly or partly closed. With the toothed gear, a cable connects the valve &c. to the end of the train.

Title: Improvements in Feed Mechanism for Letter Copying Machines.
IPC: B41L7/04
Filed: 1910-08-25
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 19,874. Alexanderwerk A. von der Nahmer Akt.-Ges. Zweigniederlassung Berlin. March 9, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets &c.-Letters &c. are fed to copying-machines by means of a series of balls carried in a pivoted frame, which is lowered so as to cause the letters to be forwarded by the coaction of the balls with one of the rollers of the copying - machine. The construction is adapted to prevent smudging of the letters, and to ensure an even feed. As shown, the letters are fed over a table e to a pivoted counterweighted front-stop k, to which is pivoted a sheet-guide p. The letter remains against the stop k until a cage g carried by levers h is lowered by the action of a cam i on one of the copying-rollers a. The cage g is shaped to fit a roller c, which presses on the roller a, and when the cage g is lowered the paper is gripped between the roller c and a series of balls f arranged in slots in the cage g. As soon as the letter is thus fed into the bite of the rollers c, a, the cam i raises the levers h, so that the letter is then moved entirely by these rollers. The machine may be arranged so that the cage g is raised before the balls act on the written matter on the letters. The guide p may be dispensed with, or may be replaced by a curved extension of the cage g, and the stop k and guide in this case are comb-shaped so as to interlace.

Abstract: 20,518. Strange, E. H. Oct. 22, 1909. Casting-machines.-In making metal strips or sheets from molten metal as is described in Specification 6630/07, the metal runs from a reservoir into one or more channels at the end of which it tends to form a meniscus, and is taken up by a body such as a cylinder, disk, and, &c., which moves above the end of the channel. In Fig. 1 a rotating drum A and channel E are shown. The opposite sides of the channel may contact with the moving body as shown at e, Fig. 2, if defined edges are required. The moving body may be cooled by means of air, or by water-jacketing, spraying, &c. The molten metal may be prevented from oxidation by a layer of protective material or reducing- agent, such as charcoal, or by effecting the operation in an inert atmosphere, and may be heated to keep it molten, the source of heat and the moving body being separated by baffle plates.

Title: Improvements in Haymaking or Swath-turning Machines and the like.
Inventor: DICKIE WILLIAM

Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 9775. Dickie, W., and Dickie, T. April 22. [Cognate Application, 23,064/11.] Haymaking.-Relates to swath-turners of the kind referred to in Specification 28,937/06. The main frame A, Fig. 1, is composed of longitudinal bars B, C, connected together by a number of brackets D, which extend behind the frame A and support the bearings for the main axle E. One of the brackets D carries a standard F for the driver's seat G, which projects behind the axle E so that the driver's weight acts to balance the machine. Gear-boxes I carrying the tines H are mounted so as to rotate freely on shafts L, and are driven in either direction by bevel-wheels J, J, either of which can be clutched to the main shaft E. The rear end of the shaft L is supported on a skid c adjustable at d. An auxiliary skid e, Fig. 2<a>, may be pivoted at the end of the skid c, and engages the ground and raises the skid c, and with it the shaft L and tines H, whenever the machined is backed. The forward end of the shaft L is secured to a saddle-shaped bracket M mounted on the main axle. The position of the bracket M on the axle is determined by means of a bent rod S, which passes through a slide T adjustably secured to the frame-bar B. The end of the rod S is bent to act as a foot-lever, by means of which the bracket M can be tilted to raise the tines H from the ground. The brackets M can also be tilted for the same purpose by means of chains b secured to arms on a rock-shaft Y operated by links from a hand-lever U. The Specification describes three modified forms of the gearing for rotating the tines relatively to the. gear-box I as this is rotated. In two of the forms an endless chain is employed which passes over a sprocket-wheel fixed to the shaft L and over sprecket-wheels mounted on studaxles, upon which the sleeves carrying. the tines are also mounted. The sleeves are driven from the sprocket-wheels by gear teeth. In one of the forms, the tines are arranged so as to be parallel and in the other form they diverge as shown in Fig. 6. Iu the third form, as shown in Fig. 11, the disk I is mounted in an annular support carried by levers pivoted on the main shaft, and rods r are connected to the tine supports, and are passed through a fixed ring t so as to constrain the movement of the tines H in the desired manner.
